One day after Derek Norris made his big-league debut by catching a three-hitter by Travis Blackley and Ryan Cook, he was on the bench. Kurt Suzuki is tonight’s catcher.

Manager Bob Melvin said Norris will catch on Saturday.

Look for Suzuki to work with Brandon McCarthy on Sunday.

“I spoke to both yesterday and talked about how the first four or five games will look like,” Melvin said. “We’ll continually look to see what we’ll do in every series. I haven’t looked farther than this series at this point.”

Will it be difficult for Suzuki, the veteran, to manage shared playing time?

“It’ll be difficult,” said Melvin, adding Suzuki “will have to look at it as a continued opportunity to go out there and right himself. Maybe get a little more rest, which he wasn’t getting. He’s had hand issues, struggled a little with the bat. Never takes it behind the plate with his performance, but he certainly wasn’t 100 percent. We’ll be able to rest him a little more and incorporate Derek into the process because he’s got a chance to be a real good player, and he showed it with the maturity he had yesterday.”

Yoenis Cespedes, who ended Thursday’s game with a three-run liner over the left-field wall, is the designated hitter again. Melvin hinted Cespedes might stick as the DH even when he’s closer to 100 percent with his hamstring.

“It should be rocking tonight,” Melvin said. “I always look forward to that. There will be some orange. There will be a lot of green. There will be a lot of hollerin’ back and forth. Good drama. You try not to get caught up too much with it. It certainly makes for a unique series, almost a a playoff atmosphere for the fans, and we’re looking forward to it.”
